One of the welcome surprises for the NFL Draft weekend was former Oregon Duck, quarterback Dillon Gabriel, being selected by the Cleveland Browns with the No. 9

The Cleveland Browns quarterback room became the most interesting quarterback room in the NFL following the 2025 NFL Draft, as they selected former Oregon quarterback Dillon Gabriel in the third round and then followed that up by selecting Colorado's Shedeur Sanders in the fifth round after his unprecedented fall.

They rattled the NFL world by selecting Oregon quarterback Dillon Gabriel (5-foot-11, 205 pounds) in the third round with the No. 94 pick, their last of four picks on Day 2. In a draft in which they had numerous chances to take Shedeur Sanders — who was still surprisingly on the board at end of Round 3 — they completely reversed field.
